From 23rd to 24th March 2005, the largest ethical hacking and information security conference in Asia took place in Jakarta, Indonesia at the Hotel Borobudur.
The conference was arranged by Bellua Asia Pacific and supported by Excelcomindo Pratama (XL), one of Indonesia's largest GSM operators and infrastructure providers.
The main goal of the event was to increase security awareness and facilitate information sharing within the public, corporate, and government sectors.
"XL, the Official Major Sponsor of Bellua Cyber Security Asia 2005, is proud to be able to deliver this very unique event. We hope it will increase the awareness and understanding of critical information infrastructure security and encourage active engagement and interest" said Rudiantara, XL Director of Corporate Affairs.
"The increasing complexity of telecommunication infrastructure with the advent of Internet, GPRS, 3G, VoIP and VAS applications leads to many further opportunities for attackers. The Banks and Telcos used to be "closed environments", it isn't really the case anymore.", says one of the speakers, Emmanuel Gadaix, founder and leader of the Telecom Security Task Force.
The BCS conference brought together, for the first time in Indonesia, internationally recognized experts in the security community as well as leading members of the local Indonesian technology and security industry.
Fourty four Speakers from Asia, Europe and the Americas joined Bellua Cyber Security Asia 2005 to discuss present and future information security issues through an intensive series of workshops, presentations, demonstrations and technical sessions.
The event was opened by keynote speeches from the Minister of Communications and Information, Bpk. Dr. Sofyan Djalil and the Attorney General of Indonesia, Bpk Abdul Rahman Saleh.
The conference talks were spread across 2 concurrent tracks focusing on both business and technical aspects of information security.
"BCS is all about knowledge transfer and information sharing!"
An Ethical Hacking contest was held by the Hack in the Box crew to let novices develop their skills and challenge experts in a Capture the Flag Arena powered by Sun Microsystems servers.
